AN ‘OILY’ FELLOW, THE ‘KID’

Weil Accused of Selling Fake Chinese Well Stock

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.—Joseph (Yellow Kid) Well, who told authorities upon his release from Leavenworth prison five months ago he was going into a ‘'legitimate business.” was sought today for arrest on the same kind of charges that made him for years the most notorious Os Chicago’s confidence men. The latest exploit of Mr. Weil of the immaculate front and possessor of the only set of pink whiskers rivaling those of the debonair “Jim Ham” Lewis, is the sale of stock in a Chinese oil well. At least, that is the charge of Joseph Kindelberger, Kalamazoo, Mich., who says he has succumbed to the lure of Mr. Weil's pervasive manner and plausible tongue to the tune of $15,000. , _ . For twenty years, Mr. Weil has made J. Rufus Wallingford and Blackie Daw look like pikers, police charge. His is not the technique which relieves cityvisiting yokels of a few hundreds in exchange for an Interest in Lake Michigan water rights. That is too crude for Mr. Well. He prefers the more gullible millionaires, bankers or racketeers. Something for nothing or a lot for a little is the simple bait he employs. ... Mr Weil played the leading role in a little skit at Detroit entitled “Cheating Cheaters.” Mr. Weil be-

GUARDS LAX IN DROWNING, BOYS CHARGE Claims of Carelessness Are Hurled After Death at Northern Beach. At the Lutheran Orphanage, 3310 East Washington street, today there was a basket in the superintendent’s office, filled with clothing-a small boy s underwear, a gray cap. a green shirt, and a pair of trousers. In the eyes of a hundred odd orphans the basket was a memorial, n tragic monument to a small boy s daring that cost him his life Sunday afternoon while his comrades frolicked on a picnic at Northern beach, north of the city. There, w hile 2,000 bathers sought refreshment from a heat wave, unaware of the tragedy, Lloyd Tinner, 14. who could not swim, leaped into twelve feet of water and drowned. His brother Otto. 12, and several playmates saw the youngster disappear beneath the choppy waves in the pool, and today they blamed li reguards on duty for not having reached their brother and comrade. Stories Disputed by Guards Their stories, that guards failed to respond to their alarms, corroborated by other witnesses, were disputed by the guards, and by Mrs. Tillie Merklin, owner of Northern beach. Frank Evans. Noblesville, Hamilton county coroner, said the guards testified at his inquest this morning, and that evidence in his possession thus far in inquiry into the death, indicated they used all resources to rescue and revive the boy. None of the orphanage officials was near the party of small bathers when the drowning occurred, he declared. Too Far Out in Pool Otto today told The Times that his brother went into deep water, grasped a safety railing at the side of the pool, and said:, “I'm going down; but I’ll come up.” When he emerged, the little brother said, the boy was too far out jn the pool to grasp tha railing. When he sank Henry May, 14, and Arne Nelson, 14, his chums, said they and the brother tried to interest guards in jescuing him, but were waved away, Mrs. Hare Alexander. 938 North Bosart avenue, swimming at the other side of the pool, said she thought the guards wete careless in going in after the boy. Guards Before Coroner The body was taken out by Robert T. Kelly, 5004 Baltimore avenue, one of numerous guards who joined life guards in search for the boy in deep water. TTie four guards on duty at the pool, Lawrence Kirk. Howard Taylor, John Hussey and Oscar Bowdenberg, appeared before Coroner Evans today, and said they were no* informed of the drowning for several minutes after it occurred, when Otto Tinner stood before one of them for several minutes without speaking, and, when questioned as to what he wanted, replied his brother was missing. The boy was the son of Mrs. Alvina Tinner. North Euclid. O. His father is dead. Children of the orphanage had been taken to the resort for a picnic sponsored by the Walt her League.

‘Bachelor Mencken s Heart Pierced; to Wed Next Month

By United Prett NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—H. L. Mencken, famed almost as much for his bachelorhood as for his iconoclastic writings, will marry Miss Sara Haardt, also an author, next month. Announcement of the engagement of Miss Haardt to the noted critic and editor of the American Mercury was made by Mrs. John Anton Haardt of Montgomery, Ala., mother of the bride-to-be. It caused surprise among Mencken’s friends here, who recalled his previous comments on the subject of matrimony. "Bachelors are the luckiest men in the world, if not the happiest,” Mencken once said to Mrs. Walter Ferguson, who inferred they spent most of their time “annoying married ladies.”

Governor on Outing With Road Bidder Leslie Is Spending Week at Gravel Firm Head’s Canadian Camp. Governor Harry G. Leslie’s longtime vacation took on international proportions today when it was learned he is in Canada with a group of men who do business with the state highway department. Leaving his summer quarters at the Indiana Dunes state park, Leslie is spending this week at the Canadian camp of Fred Coppock, American Aggregates Corporation president. With him are C. Dolly Gray, Indiana representative of the American Aggregates Corporation, and Fred Cunningham, president of the Indiana Highway Constructors, and brother of Miss Dorothy Cunningham, Republican national committeewoman. Heads Large Company Coppock's home is at Greenville, 0., but Gray handles the sand and gravel business for the company from his office in the Old Trails building, near the statehouse annex, highway department headquarters. Gray at one time was chief engineer of the state highway department and is reported to be considering a return to that position, or the state highway directorship. Cunningham is one of the largest highway contractors in the state, being head of the Cunningham Construction Company. Spent Day at Desk The Governor expressed some doubt about the Canadian trip when he left here Friday, after spending all day Thursday at his desk. But he 'went to the dunes and on to sCanada at once. Mrs. Leslie reported him gone Sunday. The Governor’s office continues to be conducted by his two secretaries, L. O. Chasey and Gaylord Morton.

STATE UNIONS TO AID ROAD WAGEPROBE Federation Official Acts to Ascertain Facts on Highway Jobs.

Wage Fight Praised i Hearty commendation of The Times’ efforts to insure living wages for labor on public road building jobs was expressed by M. Bert Thurman, Republican national committeeman from Indiana, in the following telegram to the Editor of The Times: “Your vigorous expose in The Indianapolis Times of the wages paid laborers by certain avaricious contractors on Indiana public works is appreciated sincerely by every rightthinking citizen. Follow this method up vigorously and you will render a great service to humanity.” “M. BERT THURMAN.”

A state-wide survey of wages being paid to labor on state highway projects was launched today by the Indiana State Federation of Labor, in co-operation with The Indianapolis Times’ campaign to keep tractors from taking undue advantage of the unemployment situation. Information gathered will be turned over to the state highway commission, in expectation of action to curb unjust wage cutting on state jobs, where a 50-cent hourly minimum has been estimated by state highway department engineers. Chairman Albert J. Wedeking of the highway commission has stated that contractors paying 20 cents an hour, or less, will be blacklisted by the state in the future. Commission to Act A resolution along this line is expected to be adopted at a commission meeting this week. Meanwhile, the survey is under way, Secretary Adolph J. Fritz of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, whose offices are on the sixth floor of the Peoples Bank building, having sent the following letter to all central labor unions throughout the state: “No doubt you have seen by The Indianapolis Times that the writer has been making a concerted effort to get the different road builders to pay wages in accordance with contracts which they receive from the state highway department. “I have been informed by reliable sources that in some cases, in fact, in most cases, these road contractors are not paying more than 20 cents an hour for labor. Wants Wage Information “Now, that I may be in position to know, I am asking you to appoint an investigating committee, or, better still, if you know of any cases where the road contractor in your county is paying these deplorable wages, forward this information to this office at as early date as possible. “The time has come when we must look after these poor, unfortunate devils who are compelled to accept the miserable wage rate some of these contractors are paying. “It, therefore, is urgent that you take action on this at once and send me any and all information that you may be able to gather at as early a date as possible. ‘T am anticipating immediate action.”

“T WOULDN'T trade 'my bachelorhood -a for anything. It's just like sitting in an easy chair and watching two clowns antic on the stage.” The announcement did not reveal whether the wedding, which is set for Sept. 3, would be a church ceremony. On this point, however, Mencken once expressed himself: “Church weddings are primitive orgies in the worst of taste. Being married with all your friends about you is about as private and discriminating as eating in the window of a restaurant.” Miss Haardt met Mencken while she was teaching English at Goucher college, from which she graduated in 1920. Mencken, who is 49, is the author of numerous books. I kr

came “Dr. Warrington of Berlin, Paris and Shanghai,” with an opium and dope peddling plot afoot. He mentioned it to Terence Ryan of waterfror 1 . and rum running haunts. Terence came to “a conference” with $14,000 as evidence of good faith.” “Dr. Warrington” coyly acceded to his request to “be let in.” There was some drinking. Terence awakened minus and 200 cases of Scotch. The übiquitous Mr. Weil then bobbed up as a Lothario of parts. Mike Carrozzo, erstwhile pal of Big Tim Murphy and convicted in the Dearborn mail station robbery, charged Mr. Weil, stole the affections of his wife. More recent operations include the reputed lifting of $12,000 from S. C, Langworthy, Buffalo <Wyo.) banker; $30,000 from George Malcolmson, Detroit millionaire, and $38,000 from H. I. Kutter, Hamilton (O.) manufacturer. Fingering his elegant pink whiskers and polishing his horn-rimmed glasses, Mr. Weil usually answers his accusers with,' “Really, old chap, I cawn’t remember ever having seen you.” His urbanity almost is inpenetrable, but he occasionally betrays his “back o’ the yards” origin by lapsing into the vernacular and may pick his teeth if not watched.

MOONEY ‘KEY NOT AT BLAST,’ BARBER SAYS Charges MacDonald Was in Shop When Told of Fatal Explosion. BOARD IS PERTURBED Chairman Shakes Perjurer's Story by Showing Bomb Photos. BY MAX STERN Times Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4.—John MacDonald, only remaining witness who testified to having seen Tom Mooney and Warren Billings plant a suit case at the scene of the 1916 Preparedness day explosion, was not in the vicinity of the tragedy at the time, according to information received today from two sources. One was from William J. Healy, now living in Los Angeles, who says MacDonald came into his barber shop a mile away from the scene fifteen minutes after the explosion for a hair cut and shave, and that his first knowledge of the explosion came from a postman, who dropped into the shop. Healy reports MacDonald as saying to the barber who was working on him: “It’s like a dream to me that I seen that happen down there.” He came in the next day boasting that he was “sitting pretty now and soon would go back to Baltimore on the cushions,” according to Healy. “Unfamiliar With Scene” The other is from Billings’ counsel. Edwin McKenzie, who says that MacDonald on Saturday before Governor Young's pardon board in Sacramento unwittingly gave it away that he was not at the scene until long after the crime. “MacDonald showed himself to be just another Oxman,” McKenzie said. “He arrived on the scene long after the explosion, heard about it read about the reward and then faked his identification, changing the time and other circumstances to fit the prosecution theory. “MacDonald proved on Saturday he was totally unfamiliar with the scene of the explosion on that day. He told of having seen the two men standing on the steps of th£ saloon near where , the bomb went off. When Lieutenant-Governor Carnahan showed him pictures of the saloon wall with no steps there he was speechless. Aids Blooney and Billings “He told of having failed to hear women’s screams, because a band was playing opposite where he stood. There was no band there then. He failed to remember women marching. He didn’t remember having seen any of the many police officers he as a newsboy and street character must have known. “Furthermore, he couldn’t have got there in time. He says he left his hotel more than a mile away at 1 o’clock, stopped and had lunch and drinks at two saloons and walked through crowds he was trying to avoid all in forty minutes. Yet he was sick, and, he says, drunk.” MacDonald’s story has moved Mooney and Billings many steps nearer to freedom, in the opinion of many of those who heard him. He embellished his former tale with three important new flourishes. Reverses Drinking Story One was that he was drunk, and had been drinking “right smart a day or two before.” A week ago he told the supreme court judges that he hadn’t had a drink for several years. He declared for the first time that he wl positive in refusing to identify either Mooney or Billings from their prison photos or at t’—’- cells. Finally he related the saloon step incident obviously to make it appear he could have seen the two men looking at their watches from across a crowded street. Chairman Carnahan of the pardon board for the first time brought out the fact that MacDonald could not have seen all he claim'' t~ have seen through the throng of people. It was he, also, who shook MacDonald’s story about the steps.

Pardon Board Perturbed “I couldn’t under no wise tell who the men were,” MacDonald told the Governor, “What I said were all lies. You can crucify me. I’m sorry.” The pardon board visibly was perturbed at MacDonald’s demonstration. And Mooney’s lawyer, Frank P. Walsh, refused to crossexamine him. He, however, pointed out that the witness’ story now was told with quite as convincing a maimer as that one the two juries believed. “As attorney for Tom Mooney I would not address another question to this witness,” Walsh said. Asks to Be Excused MacDonald expected today to ask to be excused by the supreme court. “I have told them I lied in 1916 and 1917 when I testified against Billings and Mooney in the Preparedness day dynamiting trials,” McDonald said. “That’s all I can do. I want to get back to my job in Baltimore. That is, if I still have a job.” Whether the court has further need for the appearance of MacDonald was not known. Action on his | request for permission to go home was expected shortly after opening of today’s session.

Only local thundershowers were forecast for Indianapolis, central and northern Indiana, and continued fair skies for southern Indiana.

TWO CENTS

A major catastrophe is threatening the droughtstricken farm area unless there is rain within ten days, Louis J. Taber, master of the National Grange, told President Hoover at the White House today. Taber urged the government to consider measures to aid in the situation. Severe drought conditions have given rise to an emergency that warrants the use of low-priced wheat as livestock feed, Alexander Legge, chairman of the federal farm board, said today in a radio address to grain belt farmers. Vast Damage to Crops Legge saw in the vast damage done corn crops and forage by long continued heat and dry weather a means of ridding the market of excess stores of wheat and called upon the farmers to use the surplus for their cattle and swine. Specifically, Taber recommended to Hooer thvat the interstate commerce commission offer temporarily reduced taxes to ship livestock out of the drought districts and to ship hay and feed into those areas. The states suffering most, he said, are those adjacent to the MasonDixon line and the Ohio river, both north and south. Sun-baked grain lands in the midwest accounted for unofficial crop losses totaling $500,000,000, a United Press survey shows. Forest Fires Flare The almost unprecedented dry spell brought another hazard —forest fires—to Michigan, Montana and Idaho, where volunteers and forest rangers fought large timber blazes. It was feared the situation would be aggravated by lack of rain. Electrical storms completed the havoc wrought by nature when considerable damage was done in the area surrounding Chicago. Many buildings were wrecked partially and power and communication lines were put out of commission. The hottest place in the United States Sunday was Ellsworth, Kan., in the center of the wheat and corn belt, where the temperature reached 111. Omaha, Neb., reported 110 degrees. . Representative temperatures for each state in the “heat belt” Sunday included: Springfield, 111., 102; Madison, Wis., 94; Concordia, la, 108; Devil’s Lake, N. D., 94; Huron, S. D., 104; Kansas City, Mo., 102; Little Rock, Ark., 98; Moorhead, Minn., 88; Atlanta, Ga., 98; Amarillo, Tex., 100, and Phoenix, Ariz., 100. Forest Fire Takes Toll As Indiana temperatures mounted Sunday, the high mark of the day in Indianapolis being 97 at 2, the state fought meadow and woodland fires which, in places, became menacing. Forest fires which had already swept over 400 acres in Benton township, east of Bloomington, were (Turn to Page 10)
